Literature
things I never told you.
some poems feel like water.
this one is more like sand,
and I'm suffocating in the maw
of a desert that was better left
rusting its clairvoyance.
it started one night when I remembered
that I've kept everything you've ever given me:
roses, faces, promises.
I never really understood
how to let things go,
and when the thought of
turning the things you'd touched
away from my doorstep
choked the poetry from my throat,
I realized why.
I keep reminding myself that
I should probably be nicer to you,

that spills ink,
and today I am

or anything worthwhile,
but because it was designed
by a mind under fire.
I am a creation with potential
annihilated by something
dark and too selfish to pinpoint.
I am dipping my resolve
in the river styx,
immortal but for its corners
where my fingertips rest.
I am forging my spiked edges
into armor with substance.
I was always the girl
chewing pens writing poetry
in the back of the classroom,
guess life is what you make it.
and being afraid is like a parasite--
left unchecked, it
